Latest Match Reports

Sep 28 • Clarence
Win

Clarence 129-113 Gloucester Combined Bowls

The last tourist match of the season with a narrow win for Clarence which included a couple of comebacks, one of which edges out the other as it allows me to use good old sporting term – this was the classic match as it was a “game of two halves” as at halftime Clarence were ten (10) down, Terry Bay, Derek Weston and Ferdi skipped by Ash Easden then with a winning streak of 7-ends saw them take a two-shot lead with one to play, Easden`s men dropped a shot, winning by one.
Sep 28 • Blues
Win

Blues 134-82 Golds

Once again, the Blues retain the Trophy, congrats to them. It wasn`t all plain sailing for the Blues as Terry Bay and Ferdi skipped by Trevor Joint of the Golds ran out winners by 9-shots. The Golds also pulled out a draw with Terry Flashman and Andrew Gilyeat alongside skip Frank Bertram. Rink of the Day for the Blues came from Mike Fry and Rob Poole with skip Gordon Sansam 29-9.
